[Thygeson's superficial punctate keratitis (author's transl)]. 1977

R Sundmacher, and M Press, and D Neumann-Haefelin, and U Riede

Ten cases of Thygeson's bilateral punctate epithelial keratitis were observed during a two year period. The diagnosis, therapy and prognosis are discussed. The common erroneous diagnosis of herpetic keratitis may lead to corneal damage as a result of too intensive therapy. Highly hydrophilic contact lenses have proven to be a valuable aternative to steroid therapy. The etiology remains obscure. Viruses were not detected with either tissue culture technique or with electron microscopy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007634 Keratitis Inflammation of the cornea. Keratitides
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
